Today marks the anniversary of the greatest lap in #F1 history: Ayrton Senna at Monaco in 1988.

I've been hunting down great sportspeople ever since in a bid to understand what happens at this ultimate peak - but tennis legend @DjokerNole sums it up best: https://t.co/2MSVQKnaoS

This is a beautiful read by @andrewbensonf1 about a beautiful human being - including some quotes that are oddly familiar... https://t.co/A7YS6d9EnW

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@TopPsychCoach Oh you star thank you Linda - and for the amazing quotes you provided from your own interview. The irony is that the great man always joked another accident was statistically less likely to happen to him now there was less of him to lose...

Farewell to one of the greatest human beings ever...

The Zone is normally a place of blissful peace and calm... but @ineosbritannia America's Cup skipper Ben Ainslie makes for a glorious exception. Here's how:

Thank you to Will Shingleton for this interview (which I've only just belatedly unearthed) about getting in the Zone in Formula 1 - featuring thoughts on Ayrton Senna, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and more

[Will Shingleton @will_shingleton]

I had the pleasure of speaking with journalist and author @clydebrolin the other day, and it was so interesting that rather than cutting it up into an episode, I just released the whole thing. Enjoy!

@supapiet @Deloitte @DeloitteSA @PowerBarSA @Mickeler Amazing - yet again! Once a legend, always a legend

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@AutoTradition @TheBishF1 Sorry for the slow reply! For In The Zone Alain told me: 'I was flying all weekend, but it felt like 30mph. I wouldn't describe it as a trance, because that implies you're not in control. It was the opposite: your mind is focused but it's really happiness. And you're fast...'

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

"I was rolling in mid-air thinking: 'that guy hexed me...'"

Remembering the great Ken Block @kblock43 with a previously unpublished interview about his moments in the Zone: https://t.co/iIXZGhg0Br

@_Laboleyn @SimonArron So sorry Lucy. You don't know me from Adam but having roomed with your Dad in F1 20 years ago I can report there was only one thing he talked about more than obscure races from the distant past: you and Tom. His pride in you was immense and he carried you both all over the world

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@norramot So sorry Tom but wow: how many hearts can one man touch? Talk about a life well lived… Wishing your Dad endless joy watching and snapping the great Formula Ford Festival in the sky. There are rare birds everywhere, the Buzzcocks are playing and it's always, always shorts weather

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@norramot Tom I am so sorry to belatedly hear about your Dad. For 25 years he has been a massive influence on my life and countless others. I have so many happy memories of sharing the F1 trail with this wonderful, generous friend. Wishing you all strength over the coming days and weeks

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

Ten years ago on Friday.

Wait... ten years?!

Here's how @felixfastestman did it - after an epic battle with his own mind: https://t.co/NkJuQysRSY

There are times when a quest for wisdom inevitably leads one to the sacred text White Men Can't Jump:

“Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win... Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.”

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@bwhitecambs @CambridgeUtdFC Beaten by today?!

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

Here's my belated tribute to the Godfather of Flow Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, whose wisdom is now more pertinent than ever: https://t.co/NkJuQysk3q

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@CarbonFbr_Llama @130Rperform Thank you very much Davin! And I'm so sad to hear belatedly that the 'Godfather of Flow' Mihaly Cszikzentmihalyi has died. I was privileged to interview him for my other book In The Zone and I will always treasure his insights and kindness

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

It seems all this CBA stuff actually works... https://t.co/C4USjzIddX

@RobCross180 @TargetDarts @NamosSolutions @ScottRBSLtd @OfficialPDC @PDCEurope @ChrisMasonNamos @Oche180 @LannoMedia Mighty effort Rob. True grit

[Clyde Brolin @clydebrolin]

@NuvolariTazio1 That is very kind, thank you so much - and what a fascinating piece of audio you found
